You're Not in Trouble

An empowering self-coaching guide to help ADHDers understand, repair, and build healthy relationships—with friends, romantic partners, family, and at work—from ADHD coach Kristen Carder, creator of the I Have ADHD podcast

The demands of relationships on the ADHD brain are taxing. You’re a good person who wants to do right by people, but it seems that no matter how much you contort yourself, you’re still not enough. And somehow, at the same time you’re too much; too loud, too emotional, too impulsive, too messy, too everything.

In You're Not in Trouble, ADHD coach Kristen Carder dives into the five prominent relationships in our lives: friendships, romantic partnerships, parent-child relationships, family-of-origin relationships, and work relationships. She helps you understand ADHD’s impact on your relationships and gives you simple, practical steps to improve them. You’ll learn how to:

• Regulate your emotions
• Prioritize your relationships
• Understand and communicate your needs
• Understand rejection sensitivity and how to soothe it
• Cultivate connection with yourself and others

This book is a gentle journey into creating rewarding relationships with advice that is tailored for the ADHD brain. Using a trauma-informed approach, it guides you towards making sincere, lasting changes in yourself that will strengthen your connections with others—and help you realize that you are finally enough.
